Default Eddie of Tire Rack - Question on Michelin Pilot Sport SX-GT

I bought a pre-owned Audi A4 with Michelin Pilot Sport SX-GT tires. I have loved these tires since day one and would like to replace with the same tires. I can't find them on your web site and wonder why you don't offer them. I did find them on the Michelin site.

Do you carry these tires? If no, why not? Recommendations?

Default Re: What size?

The Michelins are 225x50x16 which is currently on 7.5" rims.

Can I put this size tire on a 16x 7.0" rim? I am thinking about upgrading the wheels when I get the tires.

Thanks....

Default Pilot SXGTs

Thanks for the note.

Michelin has discontinued the SX GT line, thus the reason you do not see them on our site. I show 2 remaining tires in that size, no more available unfortunately.,

That size will fit a 7" wide wheel, no problem.

Call me to discuss other tire options if you need a recommendation!

Thanks!

Default Why discontinued?

Any insights as to why they were discontinued? I thought they were great tires. Did they replace with a newer tire?
